Well, the second week is different. I have really bad breathing problems because of my sinuses. I've been taking Flonase to mitigate the issue but it still sucks. During my walk breaks I'll have to blow my nose. Ev-er-y time. But aside from that, running was fun. It was cool, dry, low 80s, but the sun was out with strength. 8 30 am run. Running in the longer intervals was a fun challenge. It certainly felt like more of a "run". I really like this system and I'm looking forward to my next run.
This run was 90 seconds run 120 seconds walk, alternated for 20 minutes. I'll do my next two runs Wednesday and Friday to complete week 2. My legs felt good. My left calf started to feel funny about 3/4 into the run but it went away. I stretch well before every run so lack of preparation wasn't the explanation. I hypothesize that the more endurance I demand from my body, it will adapt and I will be well aware while I am physically adapting. At several points I found myself short of breath, but it was never a problem.
Cop car count was 4 today. It's nice to know that I can run around in a safe neighborhood. Old lady count was 3.
I'm not even looking into pronation right now. I just want to get moving with this program. Then I'll dissect my method. I'm very interested in how I run, but that understanding will have to wait.
